Ali Lohan’s Single
Celebrity Buzz "All The Way Around", the first single off Ali Lohan's upcoming album, has been released online. The 14-year-old sister of Lindsay Lohan describes her sound as "hip-hop. Kind of like Rihanna." So lets recap: Ali has a single out, Lindsay has a single out, and the family has their own reality show. Big summer for the Lohans, I guess! Dina must be stoked.

The Juno Effect
Culture Buzz What's up with all the babies making babies? While some blame President Bush's insistent promotion of abstinence (or its medical term "Genitalia Imaginaris"), others think that old sleeper hit Juno is to blame. Between Jamie Lynn Spears, the Gloucester girls, and The Baby Borrowers, don't be surprised if our next President gives an official government job to [my favorite] creepy baby photog Anne Geddes.

Numbnut
Culture Buzz Contestant in the 2008 National Spelling Bee mistakes "numnah" for "numbnut." I watch the spelling bee precisely for endearingly awkward adolescent moments such as this one.
-
Pokemones
Culture Buzz Chilean youth calling themselves "pokemones" are rebelling against their parents by having public sex orgies. Gotta catch 'em all! STD's that is....
-
Paranoid Park
Movie Buzz Gus Van Sant's new movie about teenage skateboarders opens this weekend. If anything can make us regain interest in Gus Van Sant, it's hot sk8er bois! And the cinematography is nice, too, we guess.

Teen Vampire Lit
Culture Buzz With the popularity of Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series, teen vampire lit is the new trend in young adult fiction. It's the typical teenage dilemma again: she's human, he's a vampire. For teenage girls with a dark side, these vampire books are a lot more appealing than all those rich-girl prep-school books.
-
Tokio Hotel
Music Buzz The New York Times writes about a German teen-pop sensation that somehow manages to make My Chemical Romance look less ridiculous. We thought Panic at the Disco would be the apex of teenage gothdom, until we heard Tokio Hotel. It just proves that as far as life skills go, it's more important to be good at applying guyliner than writing pop hooks.

Teenager Deterrent
Food Buzz The Mosquito, a device which emits a high frequency sound that only people under 25 can hear is being marketed as a way to disperse groups on teenagers. The annoying sound emitted from the Mosquito is succeeded at driving away scary 'yobs' in the U.K. Youth advocacy groups are calling for a ban on the devices.

magibon / MRirian
Culture Buzz One of the most popular profiles on YouTube features videos of a young girl named "magibon" or "MRirian" staring bashfully into a webcam. Her profile says she is 21-years old but various sources say she is actually only 14. Wonder if her parents know she is getting hundreds of thousands of views each week? She looks like she is either gonna break out into tears or peals of laughter.

Badass Teenagers
Culture Buzz Not all teens get famous via sex scandals, early pregnancy or school shootings. With the end of the year nigh, here are a few young 'uns who give us some hope for the future.

Teen Sex Is Good
Culture Buzz A new study at the University of Virginia says teenagers who have consensual sex early are less likely to become delinquents. The conclusion contradicts an Ohio State study from earlier this year. Let the culture wars continue!

How Sassy Changed My Life
Culture Buzz This new book is an ode to the "greatest teen magazine of all time." In other news, Jane Pratt is all over the place these days. If you're a girl who happened to come of age in the early 1990's, you'll appreciate this (I just pre-ordered my copy)! Otherwise, all apologies. Go look at some sideboob and check back later.
